Core elements of the interpersonal care relationship between nurses and older patients without cognitive impairment during their stay at the hospital: A mixed-methods systematic review
2019, International Journal of Nursing StudiesCitation Excerpt :More specifically, they experience that nurses are quiet (Boudreault and Ntetu, 2006), minimise eye contact (Mitchell and McCance, 2012) or talk to them as if they were children (Koch et al., 1995). Some older patients perceive that nurses blame or ridicule them, as if nurses were making fun of patients in order to give others something to laugh at (Jacelon, 2002; Randers and Mattiasson, 2000). Six studies report that older patients also find that they are neglected and not being listened to (Koch et al., 1995; Maben et al., 2012; Mitchell and McCance, 2012; Olofsson et al., 2012; Penney and Wellard, 2007; Tauber-Gilmore et al., 2018).
An exploration of emergency nurses’ understanding of the ageing process and knowledge of their older patient: A comparison between regional and metropolitan nurses in Australia
2018, International Emergency NursingCitation Excerpt :Overall, nurse participants in the present study scored 59% correct responses to the Palmore's Facts of Ageing Quiz, which measured common misconceptions about ageing, and 66% correct responses from the OPACS survey knowledge questions. The results for the Palmore's Facts of Ageing Quiz are similar to results of other studies that used this instrument, and reported that nurses and allied health professionals scored between 60% and 70% of correct responses (Giles et al., 2002; Horowitz and Bressler, 2000; Jacelon, 2002). In the present study, overall the Palmore's Facts of Ageing Quiz scores indicated that most participants had a general knowledge of ageing with correct responses to the 5 basic ageing physiology questions and approximately half of the 19 questions about characteristics of ageing.
Attitudes of students of health sciences towards the older persons
2016, Nurse Education TodayCitation Excerpt :Attitude is defined as a person's belief, feelings, and experiences in regard to a human, an object or a condition, which is constituted by the person's background and it influences the person's behavior or reactions (Mario et al., 2004). Many factors of care of the older persons are related to attitudes towards an older population, such as inadequate physical conditions and technical equipment in hospital, care centers or nursing homes, management problems, lack of communication with care team professionals, inadequate knowledge and skills for older person care (Adibelli and Kilic, 2012; Jacelon, 2002; Lovell, 2006). In addition to these factors, culture, age, gender, education level, experience and previous relationships with older people could be influential factors on the healthcare provider's attitudes towards the population (Hweidi and Al-Hassan, 2005; Hweidi and Al-Obeisat, 2006; Lambrinou et al., 2009; Usta et al., 2012).
Knowledge and attitudes of radiation therapists and undergraduate students towards older people
2015, RadiographyCitation Excerpt :Education is regarded as a key factor in addressing attitudes among HCPs and has been postulated to influence the quality of care received by older people.20,21 Although evidence is scant, Jacelon22 report a direct relationship between the quality of care provided to older people and HCP's attitude. Studies demonstrate that there is a negative stigma attached to older age among young adults.23,24
Dignity in the older critically ill adult: The family member's perspective
2014, Heart and Lung: Journal of Acute and Critical CareCitation Excerpt :Family members felt that the staff promoted the patient's dignity by treating the patient with respect. This is consistent with the findings of Jacelon20 and others33 in that the staff's attitude was important to maintaining the patient's dignity. In this study, participants only became concerned about the older patient's dignity if they felt that dignity was being compromised.
